as it they have two garages there some economy efficiency there. one. and secondly, it is reported that the japan center garage corporation with its validation program is a more complex operation. so for that reason, the 11% in this first item significantly is the 2.8% in the second item. we also point out on page 6 of our report on june 9th, 2011 the controller's office issued a report that "leasing garages to non-profit corporations is unnecessarily costly to the city." so given the controller's june 9th, 2011 report findings and that the japan center garage corporation would be would on only one of the two remaining non-profit operations that continues in its current role of operating the city-owned garages on behalf of the sfmta and the board oversight is difficult to quantify, we consider approval of the proposed resolution to be a policy decision for the board of supervisors. as a matter of fact supervisors i have a report that i believe will be scheduled next week for the ellis-o'farrell garage and to terminate that lease as again the sfmta think

the impact of the loss of these events is a loss for san francisco culture and our economy. it will take the right perspective of leadership from the mayor's office to make those events be able to happen. >> [unintelligible] [applause] >> i am very sorry that we lost some of these events. i'm sure they added to cultural diversity. i do know that looking at the board, there are 280 events in a given year. street fairs, hip-hop, promotional events. there is only so much that we can do. we have to make sure that every event has enough personnel to keep it safe. be it the security plan, officers, or police officers. that is one thing i failed to mention earlier. paramount to training for an event that has enough people to prevent anything disastrous from occurring, you never know what can be prevented, because you never know what you can stop from happening. you never know if people have enough resources to make sure they do not have a problem. >> down to the last few questions, we are running out of time. >> let's see how quick we can get to it. >> ok. >> we will be really fast

the talk and because i brought a lot of businesses vendor, they lowered all of our price because this economy is of scale. maybe that price can drop 50 cents a watt or more. that's another idea. there are ones that are just beginning where you can actually lease the system. you don't have to put any money up front at all. somebody else will own the system for you. you may pay an upfront cost a little bit that is less than what you might pay normally or some of them may not at all, depending on how they can make the finances work. the whole goal is to try to get you into p.v. with the least amount of resistance possible. instead of paying maybe the utility per month, you're going green and paying somebody else. thank you very much for your time. it's a pleasure. i'll take questions and i'll be here afterwards as long as you need me. thank you very much.
